YJT ARCHITECTS

What YJT ARCHITECTS does

YJT Architects is a Lebanon-based architecture and design studio founded in 2017 and headquartered in Antoura Valley, Kesrouan, Mount Lebanon. The firm operates a dual-division model: the core YJT Design Studio delivers architectural design, interior design, landscaping, and engineering design for private clients, developers, and public institutions, while the DSharp (Design Development) division provides post-design services — shop drawings, 3D visualization, BIM coordination, document control, and permit development — to carry projects from concept through construction documentation. DSharp also coordinates multi-disciplinary engineering inputs covering structural, electro-mechanical, and facade engineering, positioning YJT as a single-contractor alternative to firms that hand off construction documentation externally.

The technology stack is built on industry-standard architectural CAD and BIM tooling: AutoCAD, Revit, 3ds Max, and V-Ray for visualization, with BIM used as the integration backbone across design and construction documentation phases. Notable engagements include the renovation of the abandoned Notre Dame des Champs Dlebta Convent, the Antoura Town Hall renovation and extension, the ArchAngel Mikael Church project for the Egyptian Coptic Catholic diaspora, and the 200-villa St. Jean les villas housing development in Daychouniye.

Revenue is generated entirely through project-based professional service fees that are quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution is direct: phone, email, website contact forms, and in-person meetings at the Antoura office. The firm is privately held with 13 employees, no disclosed parent company, no institutional investors, and no external funding rounds; ownership appears founder-controlled. Operating geographies are primarily the Middle East (Lebanon), with a stated global footprint ambition for medium-to-large scale projects.
